Hello,

I have been annoyed by some lost files and dirs.
This is partly because of poor environment of my system
and partly because of my carelessness.
Yes, my system was halt without sync.

I have seen some types of corruption.
1. 0 byte files that should have contents.
2. ls shows names but the entity was lost.
I desire I can automatically detect these type of corruption.

I encountered today more curious one.
3. stat call to a corrupted directory makes the process freeze.
I dislike to make processes freeze because they are accumulated.
Error return is desirable.
(sorry if this is already fixed)

Kenji Arisawa
